Thank you @Avi Burra for the invitation to Sunday Brunch - I’ve always dreamed of bringing my own playlist to a radio ☕️🎶⚡️ We talked about capturing a line before it disappears. About releasing music while still becoming the person who wrote it. “Love is the Cure” came up - not as a slogan, but as something I keep rediscovering the hard way. I also shared the Geyser campaign - little artifacts of love, music you can hodl, a way to support an independent artist directly. Link below if you’re curious. We played a few of my tracks and some beautiful pieces from @Zaza and @Ashna , fellow artists building in the #V4V / Nostr orbit 💟 Shoutout to my artistic/musical friends @Fzero @MadMunky2140 @AZA_21m @Geyser @Fountain @Tynka @npub1ts3f...yjh6 - grateful to be creating alongside you. Go stream them too. Let the sats move where your heart moves. If you listen, tell me what stayed with you ⚡️🎧

For TWO YEARS I couldn’t figure out why my mic sounded so quiet in my home studio - always carrying this rusty, vintage-80s texture. I thought it was just my lousy environment. Turns out… I was recording with a powerful stage mic, not a true studio mic. Great for live energy, not so great at capturing subtle emotional details - the little textures I was actually reaching for. Then it took another month to finally sort the order and welcome a new mic into the studio - I was feeling ambitious and wanted to release a new song for Valentine’s Day 😅 (stay tuned!) - a lot of making music is about trusting the process. ✨ There’s this jet lag between me and my music - the time difference between when a line is written and when it’s finally heard. A jet lag between me and myself. A whisper stored in a time capsule. How I lingered. How I moved on. The timeline between past, present, and future keeps surfacing in front of me while I’m still inside a much larger puzzle. The sensation of it all. Now that I’m producing more myself (and hopefully improving along the way), I’m excited to hear how this new voice shapes the next tracks. Bye-bye to my good old mic — for now. We’ll meet again on stage someday 🎤

I just added something special to my Geyser campaign⚡ For those who’ve been asking how to support at a smaller level: you now can. She’s tiny. She’s soft. She’s on my t-shirt 🌼 And now she’s a Nostr badge for early supporters. Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting. Love is the cure 💛

Purpose over Duty. Love over Fear. Grace over Grind. GN and... 🍊

☁️ Remember there's this facility in the movie Inception, where you could lie down, plug in, and dream? What if the dream machine were real and free to access? Would you still go there? Would you dare to dream? ✨

Catching up with a fellow singer-songwriter who had just discovered the songs of Ivy Lumi. “As I was listening through the EP, I thought to myself—V, who hurt you?!” If you hear love tangled with grief, beauty brushing up against darkness, it’s not because I ran away. It’s because I stayed. Even when love didn’t arrive that day. As deterministic as it gets, we go on the quest for love, only to realize in the end that it’s always been the cure. ✨

LOVE IS THE CURE is live on Geyser 💊✨ After months of reflection and creation, I’ve launched a 60-day, all-or-nothing fundraiser on @Geyser 🤍 This is an experiment in music you can hodl — using Bitcoin not just as money, but as a way to support creativity, healing, and independent work directly. I didn’t arrive at Bitcoin through charts or code. I arrived through curiosity and a deep pull toward freedom. Bitcoin gave shape to that instinct. Over time, music gave it a place to live. Bitcoin showed me what freedom could look like. "Love is the cure" showed me how to live it. Many of you know me through my work across the #Bitcoin space since 2021. Working inside this ecosystem taught me proof of work, responsibility, and trust — but it also revealed something quieter: money amplifies what we carry within. Without care and inner work, conviction alone isn’t enough. This campaign brings those worlds together. 🔗
